How do you account for these facts N-butyl alcohol has a much higher boiling point than its isomer di-ethyl ether yet both compounds have the same solubility in water?

n-butyl alcohol has a higher boiling point than di-ethyl ether because there is more hydrogen bonding in n-butyl alcohol which results in a higher energy needed to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

What is the relationship between the boiling point of the alcohol and the number of atoms in its molecules?
Alcohols are polar compounds. Now if the number of molecules is less the attraction is more and then the boiling point is high. Hence the relation.
